Figuring out where the frets go is one of the trickiest things about building a lap dulcimer. Our handy reference guide has detailed charts that show fret placement for every scale length from eight inches to thirty-one inches, in eighth-inch increments.Two hundred charts are included, with fret locations for both diatonic (including optional 1 1/2, 6 1/2, 8 1/2, and 13 1/2 frets) and chromatic instruments.All charts show the exact locations (to the thousandth of an inch) for the nut, bridge, and thirty-seven frets. Each fret location is identified three ways: 1) inches to previous fret; 2) inches to nut; 3) inches to bridge.This 206-page book is the ultimate reference for any builder of Appalachian dulcimers. The author of the book is the owner of Folkcraft Instruments, one of the oldest dulcimer-building companies in the world. Folkcraft is renowned for having true fretboards, and this set of two hundred charts will put your instruments on the path to playing each note in tune.Don't spend all that time and money building a dulcimer that doesn't play in tune. With this book you'll be able to build the perfect dulcimer for your next project, and have an instrument that sounds great!
